[V8] Everythings flashing (!) still!

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

On my '91, the red BRAKE light in the cluster of idiot lights is the one that
comes on for low brake fluid level. I am quite certain about this because I see
it every day when I turn up my nearly vertical driveway.

As far as I know, the only thing that turns on the graphic brake shoe thing in
the AutoCheck display is the pad sensors.
